Thanks be to our collaborators: meet Paul Warren

Paul Warren has become our in-house illustrator since we met over a few beers in a Nottingham pub just down the road from the Nottingham Playhouse.

He has always sketched and drawn and painted images. In 2013, after renting studio space at Harrington Mill Studios in Long Eaton, he began drawing on an iPad and he has drawn on an iPad ever since. A phrase he has coined is “the iPad is my sketch pad” and it fits very well.

His drawing style is continually evolving and developing. He draws people, the human figure and adds a sprinkling of artistic license. He doesn’t strictly create pictures; he’s interested in facial expression, stance, form, interaction between members of society, a moment in the workaday activities.
